St. Vincent de Paul: Humility

 


The most powerful weapon to conquer the devil is humility. For, as he does not not at all how to employ it, neither does he know how to defend himself from it.


~St. Vincent de Paul

 

 

Pope Pius VIII

"The salvation of the people principally depends on good pastors. Nothing contributes more to the ruin of souls than impious, weak, or uninformed clerics."


~ Pope Pius XIII

 

Trials and Tribulations


 Trials and tribulations offer us a chance to make reparation for our past faults and sins. On such occasions the Lord comes to us like a physician to heal the wounds left by our sins. Tribulation is the divine medicine. 
 
~ St. Augustine of Hippo
